[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal] Thanks for the info. It gives me a new word to add to my Japanese language notes as well as an "on-reading" for 会 that I was un-familar with.

I was used to its "on reading" as being カイ "kai" as in 社会人 ( しゃかいじん /"shakaijin"- working person) and its "kun reading" being あ・う as in 会う ("au"-to meet).

Always fun to find a new reading for my studies

P.S.

Also, i find it interesting how kanji messes with smilies on this site. It was wanting to make my opening parenthesis on working person into a smilely until I added in the italicize opening and closing elements. I see it did the same to you when you posted
[center]茶道 and 一期一会.

I guess the owners didn't expect much kanji/hanzi being posted on DU [/font]
